Patron Saint of Financial Distress
The feast day is 14 January, but you can pray this novena any time.
“The more you honour Me, the more I will bless you” has been a popular devotional line associated with the Infant Jesus of Prague for centuries.
Devotion to the Infant Jesus of Prague is especially popular among the Carmelites, and it was something that St. Therese of Lisieux was also well known for.
The Novena prayers are the same for all the nine days.
(Pray for nine days or nine consecutive hours.)
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O Jesus, Who has said, “Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened,” through the intercession of Mary, Your Most Holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted.

Then pray the following Prayer of Thanksgiving:
Prayer of Thanksgiving for Graces Received from the Infant Jesus
I prostrate myself before Your holy image, O most gracious Infant Jesus, to offer You
my most fervent thanks for the blessings You have bestowed on me. I shall
incessantly praise Your Ineffable Mercy and confess that You alone are my God, my
helper, and my protector. Henceforth my entire confidence shall be placed in You!
Everywhere I will proclaim aloud Your mercy and generosity, so that Your great love
and the great deeds which You perform through this miraculous image may be
acknowledged by all. May devotion to Your Most Holy Infancy increase more and
more in the hearts of all Christians; and may all who experience Your assistance
persevere with me in showing unceasing gratitude to Your Most Holy Infancy, to
which be praise and glory forever. Amen.
